I had the arugula salad, and they don't put dressing on the salad in this country, instead they always bring the vinegar and olive oil so you can do. They never bring salt, she you must ask for it. What I didn't like was that they sprinkled (heavily) a romano cheese all over the salad that belongs on pasta or pizza, not a salad and it wasn't on ye menus description-otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it. I also had the tomato soup and the flavor was good, but it was more like a tomato sauce, chunky but it was good for dipping with the cheese garlic bread. The cheesy garlic bread was soft and warm, but it hardly had any garlic. The pizza was okay, but super greasy and you couldn't hold it, instead you needed to use a knife and fork to eat, which was fine except for all the grease. We would go back for the setting alone, but with so many restaurants on the river if probably try those first before returning.

Service was friendly but could felt similar to the service you get in many tourist restaurants and the idea of American tipping seems to be taking root. Food portions were hearty and seemed to be a more formal take on Portuguese comfort food (I imagine).

Schlepping our suitcases and backpacks we walked the 4 blocks to the restaurant from the train station. The staff was incredibly friendly and gave us our choice of seats. The outdoor courtyard was lovely even in the night air. The menu was quite varied and we took awhile deciding. I opted for the soy dog in green bun, which was surprisingly good! I appreciated the smattering of salad greens around the edge. My wife had the grilled cheese, which was also yummy. Our smoothies were delicious and happily came with paper straws. The staff was the perfect amount of friendly and helpful without hovering and our food was good. Should we be back in this part of Lisboa again we'll be back! As we were leaving we were told about their sister vegan restaurant in the Rossio district called Garrett's.

Tourist trap is when they offer bad food at high price, so I won't call this a tourist trap. You probably can venture to some neighborhood fish restaurant for a better value, but otherwise, you won't be disappointed with the selection and preparation. Near the entrance they have a display case with all the fresh catches. We skipped the shellfishes as Cervajeria Ramiro is our (and the world's) favorite, and we doubted that this place can rival it. Though of course, here you can skip the hour's wait. Hubby was hoping to get the dover sole, but it was not available. We tried another flatfish, turbot, which was expertly grilled and then filleted at our table. Sides are traditional potato and greens.
